The Beatles announce their American arrival with a four-minute video on YouTube, which is viewed by thousands of fans, mostly teenage boys, and makes them the buzz band for people in chat rooms, mostly 47-year-old men. Their appearance on a Cirque du Soleil special on CBS attracts 10 million viewers, 20 million fewer than watch "American Idol." Their debut "Please Pleshizzle Me" becomes iTunes' most-downloaded album. What if the Beatles landed today in New York?

I am me and Rummy's he, Iraq is free and we are all together
See the world run when Dick shoots his gun, see how I lie
I'm Lying...

I'm above the law and I'll decide what's right or wrong
I am the egg head, I'm the Commander, I'm the Decider
Koo-Koo-Kachoo
Baghdad city policeman sitting pretty little targets in a row
See how they die when the shrapnel flies see mothers cry
I'm Lying...I'm Ly-ing...I'm Lying...I'm Ly-ing
Yellow cake plutonium, imaginary WMD's
Declassifying facts, exposing secret agents
Tax cuts for the wealthy leaving all the poor behind
Sitting in the White house garden talking to the Lord
My thoughts would be busy busy hatching If I only had a brain
